I dunno, I might be the only hip hop fan on here that doesn't want Macklemore doing the flag, tired of that guy already and his dumb hair. Chris Cornell doing the anthem? with all due respect, that's just corny, let the little kids and amateur's keep doing it.

SA! SA! SA! I kind of agree it should be a former player I just wish I was as cool as the people that have never heard of Macklemore and only use payphones and only re-read Bukowkski paperbacks while listening to their clay 45s on their home made phonograph...

He's got my vote.

Im a little surprised as well... but then again his music kinda sucks. He has a couple of catchy songs but they have been overplayed to the point where I feel like clipping off my ears every time I hear one of them.

Yeh, I'm not a fan of his music either but a guy who signs a Frank Gore jersey with 'Go Seahawks' is good in my book; and should be with all fellow Hawks.

I'm ok with Macklemore.

Ricky was maligned as a "quitter" in Philly. Guy was an amazing teammate and a hard worker. All that he did set the stage for the team that went to the Superbowl. He taught a lot of those guys how to win and how to kick some balls.

Macklemore could be standing next to me right now and i'd have no clue who he was. I bet 75% of the stadium (especially those over 40) would be in the same boat.

Hahaha. No. He's the biggest music star to come out of Seattle in decades and he's about to have his third straight number one. Oh, and he reps the Seahawks constantly, wrote a song about Dave Niehaus, and Russell tweeted last week that the team will play his hit 'Can't hold us' before every 4th quarter.

He's the perfect guy.

"If I were Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Flynn, I'd be leery of this kid because if you give him a chance, if you give him a chance and look past his 5 foot 11 or 5-10 and a half or whatever it is, if you give this kid a legitimate chance to win the job, he'll win it" - John Gruden

I'd take Brandi Carlisle, Damien Jurado, Dave Bazan, Death Cab for Cutie, modest Mouse, or the Head and the Heart over Mcklemore as artists, but that probably reveals about me and my opinion of radio over the last twenty years than it does about Mcklemore's popularity.

I think it would be awesome for Macklemore to raise the flag, but I would assume like many in this thread that many don't know who he is, so he wouldn't be the best choice. He's big and only getting bigger. Always reps Seattle too.

Largent should do the 49er game, He should go up to the area of the podium with a jacket on and a 80 jersey underneath camera focus on him and close up sshowing him on jumbo screens, takes jacket off and shows he has the name Rice on his jersey, takes that jersey off wearing a largent underneath and throws it into a trash can that suddenly bursts into flame, then he proceeds to raise the flag.

To Be P/C or Not P/C That is the Question..........Seahawks kick Ass !!!! Check your PM's, Thank you for everything Radish RIP My Friend. Member of the 38 club.

If Dave Brown is gonna do it, it'll have to be a hologram. I think he passed about a month before XL while playing hoops with his son. So sad.

I kept hearing Macklemore's name and didn't want to like him for whatever reason, but my wife & son played The Heist so many times that I now know every song. There is some good stuff on there...like this:
